Technology and tradition co-exist in Gilroy’s classrooms
My greatest accomplishments in third grade were winning the spelling championship and retaining my position as a steady-ender for jump rope during lunch recess. Nowadays, some third graders are focusing on explaining character development in Peter Pan, symbolism in The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, and being able to name more than ten different shapes. In the spirit of full disclosure, I am a weekly classroom volunteer at Navigator's Gilroy Preparatory School (GPS) and the obnoxiously proud mother of a third grade teacher at GPS. My daughter thinks I work in the classroom to help her with her two classes of thirty children. The real truth is that I go for the hugs the kids give me!Â

A big city TRASH award for Ronan Avenue homes
Scanning the Gilroy radar screen in the Crusader's cave, a couple things popped-up post-Thanksgiving that need mention. Recently, I initiated the Gilroy TRASH award (unTidy Residences Antagonizing Sensible Homes). The qualification for a Gilroy Crusader TRASH award nomination is any residential property in Gilroy on which there exists a condition described as Gilroy residents who let rundown vehicles, overgrown weeds or excessive trash pile up on their front yards that meet the criteria of blighted property according to the Gilroy blight ordinance code.
